You would like to be more creative but paint brushes are your only expressive medium. You need a tool that will change the way you apply paint to the canvas to achieve a unique aesthetic result.
Solution
To make your painting, sculpture or other artwork more interesting you can use a kitchen sponge, like this:
Place paint or ink in a jar.
Dip the kitchen sponge in the jar to soak up the colour.
Use the sponge to apply the colour to paper, fabric or canvas.
Allow it dry.
Repeat if you would like a more pronounced effect or colour combination.
